I am a chemistry and German student. I currently work as a tutor in chemistry, and I hope to tutor in German as well.

a chemistry student with a passion for German. I want to bridge cultures using science as a way to connect people and explain phenomena from multiple perspectives.

I want to help solve puzzles that lead to advancements in society. Chemistry is about having the pieces and putting them together in a meaningful way to get a desired outcome, and then being able to reproduce and explain that process. I want to solve these puzzles and harness them to be useful to society.

I get to work on puzzles, solve interesting problems, learn constantly, meet new people, discuss work that I'm passionate about and interested in, and ask questions.

As as student, I spend much of my time studying or in the lab, but I also love to do trivia night with my friends.

I want everyone to know that they can find a place for them. It is important to keep trying, and you will never have to get stuck in a rut. If your plans are derailed, you'll find another path that will take you there or even someplace far more exciting.

My STEM education helped provide me an internship opportunity in Chennai, India, when I had never before left the United States.

My dad was a geophysist. He always inspired me to pursue chemistry and he never once didn't answer a question that I had. I would ask questions constantly. I would ask in the car. At a baseball game. During dinner. During breakfast. During lunch. During a midnight snack. I would ask him anything and everything and he fostered that passion and curiosity, always pushing me to grow and learn, but also lifting me back up when I fell. Reminding me that I didn't have to take the hardest path or the straightest path, but that I would always end up somewhere that I enjoyed and that I could always move forward. He also constantly reminded me to enjoy the journey. Since then, I had a set of fantastic teachers that continued to foster my curiosity, using non-standard techniques to ask questions. Techniques that appealed to my thought process which occurs through seeing similarities, making connections, and describing everything in metaphor or analogy.

Organic Chemistry, Bioorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Computer Science: Python, Differential Equations, Physics: Mechanics and Relativity, and Physics: Electricity, Magnetism, and Thermodynamics

My coding skills in Python, Java, and MATLAB have been some of my most useful skills. Additionally, my ability to ask questions and make interdisciplinary connections have been essential to my success. I would also say that all my chemistry lab skills are quite useful.
